Mavic 2 Zoom Lens Cover Removal tool

thingiverse

I had quite some difficulties removing the lens cover on my Mavic 2 Zoom. It was way too tight from the factory and with the hand is just impossible and too risky for the gimbal. I want to use ND/PL filters for those very bright days of filming so I have to be able to remove the lens cover. After reading on some forums it seems DJI has some sort of tool but I couldn't find it so I made one of my own design. I've used an inner ring which I've printed of Flex material (Ninja Flex, etc..) to get a better grip on the lens. The inner ring sits in a clamping tool printed in normal PLA. I ended up using also an additional cloth in between the ring and the lens to increase friction since it was still slipping, but I've managed in the end to remove the lens cover. You could print both in PLA and try but be carefull of the force applied to the lens conver since PLA is stiff.
